PCR has a low false negative but the time it takes it's not working. The antigen test isn't shit. We are letting perfect be the enemy of good |

It's about speed and multiple tests. If you can do it say, daily, you don't worry about the ones you miss as you'll likely catch them the next day etc.

I totally agree we need this and your employer could maybe make you take this prior to going into work or schools could use it for the kids. |
